Helena smiled and said, “You look better in real life.”
Marcus did not reply. Instead, he said to Madam Kyla, “Grandma, I brought the embroidery artist were looking for for you.”
After all, Madam Kyla was old. It took her a long time to remember this. She said, “Yes… yes, I asked you in the morning. You brought her here. Let me see her.”
Marcus looked back at Crystal. Everyone in the reception room looked at Crystal too.
She was a little nervous. She walked up to Madam Kyla and said softly, “Nice to meet you, Old Madam.”
When Madam Kyla saw her, she suddenly stood up, which scared everyone. Helena quickly went to hold her. “Old Madam… What’s wrong with you?”
However, Madam Kyla pushed Helena’s hand away and staggered up to Crystal. Tears welled up in her eyes as she held her hand. “Chloe… Chloe, you’re finally back to see mom… you’re finally willing to come back to see me…”
As soon as the word “Chloe” came out, the atmosphere in the living room was particularly strange.
Chloe had been dead for nearly twenty years. How could this girl have any trace of the noble and elegant young lady of the Kyla family back then?
“Madam Kayla…” Helena said gently, “You’ve got the wrong person. This is the embroidery master brought by Second Young Master, not Madam Chloe.”
However, Madam Kyla wrapped her arms around Crystal and said, “This is my daughter! I didn’t mistake her for someone else… How could I mistake her for someone else?!”
Crystal was dumbfounded as she was hugged by the old woman. She could smell the sandalwood on the withered body, which made her feel at ease. Even the arms that were thin made her feel very warm.
Crystal’s nose twitched.
She knew that this old woman was her grandmother. They were related by blood, but Marcus did not say that he was bringing her to the Kyla family today, which meant that he did not want Madam Kyla to recognize her.
“Grandma.” Marcus’s voice was very gentle. “This is the embroidery master I brought, not my mother. You are really mistaken.”
When Madám Kyla heard her grandson’s voice, she hesitantly released her hands and said, “It’s… it’s not Chloe?”
“No,” Marcus said.
Madam Kyla was helped back to the sofa by Marcus. She slowly calmed down, and her mind became a little sober. She said, “Miss, I’m sorry. I recognized the wrong person just now… I felt familiar with you as soon as I saw you. I thought that my daughter had come back.”
She shook her head with a bitter smile and said, “She has been dead for 19 years. How could she come back?”
The others hurriedly tried to comfort her, but no one knew if Madam Kyla heard them or not.
Crystal stared at the Old Madam.
Even though she was old, it could still be seen from her excellent appearance that Madam Kyla was a rare beauty when she was young. Although time was ruthless and there were traces of vicissitudes, she was still beautiful. She was wearing soft clothes and sitting on the sofa, which showed the elegance and tenderness of a noble lady.
“Child, what’s your name?” Madam Kyla asked.
Crystal subconsciously looked at Marcus.
Marcus said lightly, “Grandma, show your clothes to the embroidery artist.”
“Yes… yes, yes, yes.” Madam Kyla’s topic was changed by Marcus. She did not ask Crystal’s name again. She stood up and said, “Miss, come with me. I’ll take you to have a look…”
Helena stepped forward to support Madam Kyla and said with a smile, “Second Young Master, you’re too tall. It’s not convenient for you to support Old Madam. Do you want me to do it?”
